Stray Kat Studio was founded in 2023 by Katherine Donovan, a multidisciplinary creative strategist with a background rooted in visual storytelling, digital branding, and production design. A graduate of the Savannah College of Art & Design, Donovan brings a multifaceted skill set to the studio, combining expertise in film production, art direction, digital marketing, and user experience to deliver high-impact creative solutions.

Her career spans a broad spectrum of creative industries, including film and television production, e-commerce development, technical SEO, social media management, and branded content creation. Donovan has produced award-winning films, such as MOCAP Dog, which earned recognition across multiple film festivals, including wins and nominations at the Austin After Dark Film Festival, All The Laughs Comedy Awards, and a Student Emmy nomination by the National Student Production Awards. Her portfolio also includes fine art recognition, such as her solo painting showcase Mourning Paper at 208 Wine Bar.

In addition to her creative production background, Donovan holds significant experience as an influencer, with a substantial online following across TikTok and other platforms. This dual perspective—both as a strategist and creator—provides the team with firsthand knowledge of the digital landscape, audience behavior, and platform evolution.

Central to Stray Kat Studio’s strategic capabilities is the long-standing collaboration between Katherine Donovan and digital marketing expert Peter Benes, founder of Benes The Menace. Originally developed through a mentor-mentee relationship, their partnership has since evolved into a collaborative business model, combining Peter’s performance-based marketing methodology with Katherine’s creative production expertise. Together, they co-offer the kPixiesmarketing system, designed to deliver guaranteed return on investment through data-backed creative campaigns and strategic digital execution.

Stray Kat Studio operates through a curated team of young professionals across disciplines including videography, design, SEO, and marketing, enabling a flexible and scalable approach to content production and brand growth. The studio’s combined knowledge of design, analytics, and platform mechanics allows clients to achieve cohesive digital identities backed by measurable results.
